Using the IR Receiver

An infrared receiver, like those found in TVs, VCRs, and DVD players, can be added to a microcontroller project. This video shows you how to connect the IR receiver and how to program it using the Picaxe.

My sensor worked with the IRemote library without the 5v pullup to the output. Can you please explain why this is (sometimes necessary?).

[@karenberry9498]

This is a bit beyond me just yet, but thank you very much.... John :)

[@LupusMechanicus]

Genius man, can I get an analog signal out of this? As in using the ADC to get a hex value for strength of IR recieved?

[@ivanstanojevic1728]

Hi,could explain which function why I must to connect 4.7K to first pin and why 4k7 must to connect on 5V? Thanks

[@murusidhasumin9722]

is this possible to use it in any motion or glucose detector?

[@Mase.0]

I'd love to use one an IR receiver with an IR LED to control a solenoid but I am so lost on the programming aspect of it!

[@brucewayne-cave]

Hi Doc, Is there and 'off the shelf' 1 ch IR TX & RX, that is already programmed?
I am needing to sense if the IR-TX passes in front of the IR-RX.

[@danielrumba7898]

what do you mean by saying an input pin

[@danielrumba7898]

please teach me more about the ir receiver

[@MrIC01]

hey can u please tell me if I HV to make a remote tester than how much volts of battery and capacitor I use

[@rashikashera9292]

Hii sir what if I am having sm3388 receiver can I use that

[@unnikrishnsnkavassery3305]

How can i connect VS838 in a simple circuit

[@MrShahanwer]

good i made it for security system at my home in 4 corners

[@jamiekosky6580]

what package is the IR Receiver are you using

[@dick7540]

Could you please tell me which software you used to draw the circuit in the video.

[@BestYoutubeChannelInTheWorld]

paint

[@kleinklark7435]

boss can I use that ir receiver to control a servo motor

[@drbrono]

+klein klark You sure can! Once you receive the data, it is completely up to you what to do with it. I have used the IR receiver to control a small robot before - up arrow to go forward, down arrow to go back, left arrow to turn left, etc.

[@SanjayKumar-kh2zr]

Sir tell me how can I switch on my CTV kit from standby to power ON with IR receiver because I have not TV remote?

[@acnologia232]

Ir receiver in proteus what??? Sir

[@kawaranai6742]

Which programme is to be used?

[@florianalia8319]

good video but not all ir receivers heve the same pinout.

[@w1zzard418]

Thank you very much sir :)

[@andymouse]

greatscott has a simpler way of this

[@abuzarghafari8626]

through this ir detector can we detect the ir radiation emitting from our hand?

[@zoey101dogwablog]

thats uh... not how it works bud.

[@aarondsouza9707]

arent the values in picaxe till 225!

[@gerardofire69]

muchas gracias amigo

[@bananamaniac2]

this definitely doesnt work
